GOSSIP AND sLANDER.

The Wide Difference which May Exist
Between the Two.
There is q wide distinction between
gossip and slander. Gossip may be true
or false; slander implies Q lie. Gossip
may be good.natured, or ill-natured;
slander Is born of malice. Gossip may
be edifying, or disgusting; slander de-
grades alike him who talks and him who
listens. Gossip may sometimes lead to
practical results and be pregnant with
valuable suggestions; slander never
helps any cause but that of the Evil One.
Gossip may be defined aS talk about
the little affairs of other people. These
are, strictly speaking, none of your busi-
ness; but there is this to be said-other
people are certain to occupy themselves
with your little affairs. Indeed, the
social nature of humanity seems to in !
volve an interest in what concerns our
fellows, Independent of its relation to
ourselves. And there is another cause
for the universal propensity to gossip.
It has been said that no man is
hero to his valet. 1t may also be
observed that, without an enormous
capacity for self-delusion, men cannot be
admirable in their own eyes. There are
thousands of petty weaknesses, secret
foibles, resisted yet serious temptations
and unspeakable thoughts for which we
all have to reckon with our consciences.
1t is . satisfaction to find that
we are not alone in these experiences
that what some lucky chance,
1t may be, has alone saved 10
from, Jones has actually committed;
that puerilities we are sneakingly aware
of In our own hearts and minds have
been openly manifested by Smith. This
brings in personal vanity to be gratifled
by piquant disclosures Of . friends
peccadilloes, and imparts TO gossip, per-
haps, ito main attractiveness. But
gossip, nevertheless, deals with lighter
matters than slander, and may be of
good things as well as naughty.
One bf the greatest errors fostered by
literature too exclusively masculine is
that gossip is the peculiar province and
delight OF womankind. It requires q
great deal of effrontery for an observant
man to maintain this position. The
male sex, he cannot but perceive, spends
hours of the so-called business part of
the day in the idlest of gossip. But the
dear credulous creatures at home, who re-
ceive as gospel everything their protect.
ors" tell them, and great deal more that
is told them by others, have, Of course,
no idea how much "business" consists in
slipping from one store to another and
chatting on the news of the day, in
lounging around street-corners, or in
clubs and restaurants, and discussing the
private concerns of men-in short, in
gadding and gossiping. What Q COM
fort 1t Is that they believe 90 in their
lords and masters, and are 90 BEAUTIFULLY
conscious of their own inferiorityl

passage Of storms, and - they are bound
up with the varying weight Of the at.
mospherc. tho barometer, which indi-
Gates the weight or pressure of the air,
furnishes tho key to the weather changes.
Weather maps representing consid.
crable par: of the carth's surface, az the
United States and the adjacent portions
Of the British possessions, show two
distinct systems Of atmospheric pressure,
the forms and positions Of which change
from day to day. The data necessary
for the construction Of the weather
map being properly placed upon map
Of the country, concentric lines con-
Meeting places where the barometers
read alike can be traced inclosing these
systems. In one the lines will be
found to inclosc pressures success
lively less until in about the centre
OF the system the least pressure
10 located. In the other the
lines will inclose pressures SUCCESSFULLY
greater until in about the centre of the
system the greatest pressure is located.
Tho former system is known as an "area
Of low barometer" or cyclone, and the
latter As an "area of high barometer" or
'anti-cyclono. Wcll-dehned areas Of low
barometer are the distinguishing charsc-
;eristics Of the great storms, the hurri.
canes and typhoons Of tropical regions
and the ordinary storms Of the middle
latitudes. They are all comprehended
under the general name cyclone.
It 10 upon this wonderful atmosphere
Of ours that we depend for the tempera-
ture and the elements that make life pos
sible. The heat of the sun is the chief
factor in the development and preserva-
ion Of life, a. 1t is also, by reason Of its
agency in upsetting the equilibrium Of
the atmosphere, the power Of destruc-
ton and desolation. To meet the re.
quirements Of life 1t 10 essential
that the surface Of the earth and the
lower strata Of the atmosphere receive
and retain the greatest amount Of heat.
This need ID provided for In the ease with

. storm gradually rises into the colder
strata of the atmosphere and condenses
its vapor of water into clouds and rain,
which conditions are carried into the
upper rear portion of the storm, where,
under . falling temperature, the rain
turns to snow, and, under the influence
of evaporating northerly winds and ris-
ing barometer, the sky presently clears
of bright and cold. Job said, "Fair
weather cometh out of the north" and
Solomon wrote, "The north wind driveth
away rain"
Attending storms we find the broadest
features of weather to be as shown in
the diagram:
The lines, called "isobars," returning
into themselves, inclose the circlipg mass
of atmosphere which constitutes "the
storm" The dotted lines, called "iso-
therms," whatever their values may be,
show the usual trend of temperature
lines in relation to storms. The arrows
Qocal wind directions) and legends have
NO geographical reference, but show the
weather conditions surrounding . pro-
gressive storm. The whole revolving
mass propagates itself in an easterly d.
rection, the average direction Of move
ment being northeastward.
In the oOutneaStern portion OF the
diagram We see the region in relation to
Q storm where the weather is clear and
very warm, with the red sunsets and
yellow moon that indicate prolonga-
ton Of fair weather. when It is even
ing ye say 1t will be fair weather, for the
sky is red" In the heated southwesterly
currents that prevail southeast of the
storm, cumulus clouds are formed and
sail northwsrd. These soon enter the
region in front of the storm,
where the higher cirrus are found,
and combining with them form the cirro-
stratus, and presently there is gloomy,
overcast sky and rain. Attending the
higher cirro-stratus we find q wstery
sun, Q pale moon, and halo-forming
sky. "The moon with circle brings
water in her beak." Halos generally oc-
cur in the extreme front of q storm area,
and are, perhaps, our first indication of
coming change of weather. The pale
moon and watery sun are indications of
the increasing dampness of this part Of
the storm area.
Ifthe sun goes pale to bed,
Twill rain tomorrow, it is said.
